If I understand what your saying, its because once your heart rate gets to a certain rate or % you are no longer in the burning fat range.

Basically.... you just do it. I work full time and in school also, its so hard! But if it matters to you, you find time!

Sounds delish!!! Couldnt afford that many calories for a burger though :-( Maybe on a day that I work out superrr hard!! haha

Sorry to hear about your daughter but great way to release the stress! Awesome job on the 5 miles!!!

I just looked at your diary, your not eating much and working out a lot! It would make sense for you to lose that much during the first week. Keep it up, your doing a great job!

145 is way to low I think, but then again 450 is too high I would say. I would go with about 300 just to be on the safe side, but invest in a HRM!!!

i was holding up my pants with hair ties, thats how baggy they were, I finally splurged for 3 pair of work pants that actaully fit.

This is great! I am the person that is always feeling tired when I eat right,, work out and get 7-9 hours of sleep a night and I am always walking around like a zombie, so I finally made an appt with my doctor , just have to wait a week to see her!! I finally got sick of always feeling tired and finally going to do…

Well I really cant help you with the whole husband situation because I am not married, but the insurance companies are suppose to go by your weight before the supervised 6 months. A lot of people do what your husband did and not lose too much afraid they wont be able to get the surgery. But look at it this way, you have…

Open your diary so we can check it out, you should have lost some weight by now if your eating well.

Welcome! You will find great support here, great goals!!!!! Btw loose is when something is too big, lose is when your getting rid of something.

I cook them up for the dogs, otherwise I throw them out.

Oh my I loveee sweet tea!!!!! haha good luck :-)

You can change it.

It doesnt always come off that fast. I had WLS 5-17-10 and to date lost 30 pounds since then, the other 30 have been on my own. Its not always quick and fast.

You look great!

Thats great!!!! Your really working your band :-) Keep up the awesome work.

You need to work out. Plus one pound a week without working out sounds pretty amazing.

No microwave? WHATTTT! Sneak a george foreman in. Cafe food is horrible! I gained 30 pounds in college, I have no idea how I would lose weight, the food is so bad :-( I lost like 15 pounds when I was trying in school, I lived on fresh sandwhiches and salads.

Plus cubed steaks dont have much fat in them, nothing really drips down.

I cook my cubed steaks on the George Foreman all the time. I put it on high and cook for about 4-5 minutes depending how you like your steak. You can tell they are done just by looking at them, but if you have to cut one open and make sure its cooked.

For your hands you can get gloves, but you shouldnt be holding onto the machine anyways. For your feet, have you considered different shoes?

Not sure if I believe in this. Everyone is different and I barely drink water and have lost 62 pounds. I just dont like water. yuck!

I cant control myself around junk foods, esp icecream. I just need to not be around it while I get to my goal weight.

Maybe try watching your carbs a bit. Not saying going on a low carb diet, just saying they look a bit high, I know when my carbs are high thats when the weight stops coming off. Also you need to start working out, I cant lose any weight without working out. Chaning how you eat is very important but working out will help :-)

I have had a trainer since Febuary and I love it, but at $400 a month the love for it is no longer there. I have 23 paid sessions and then I think I need to take some months off :-(

I don't count housework or cleaning, I dont even count taking my dogs for a walk, I feel like thats just everyday life. The only time I count my calories is when I work out and go off of my HRM.

Do you get the chest strap wet enough or is it tight enough? I realized once I lost 60 pounds that it kept saying 00 it needed to be tightened up a lot!!

105 pounds is fantastic!!! You should be so proud of yourself and I know thats easier said then done because i am down 60 pounds and I still see that 320 pound girl staring back at me when I look into the mirror or I look at my new pics. Its a hard thing to break, the negative self imagine but just know you are doing a…

I really needed these comments, thank you all so very much! I cant wait to see what you all see, hopefully soon!
